Dnn,ts for the Sick Room.

Don't appear anxious, however great
your anxiety Assume cheerful cX-
preston, and get off an old joke abou.
the patient being great liar or some
other antedeluyian humor. Such things
have a tendency to arouse a pat,c 1t
from thoughts of his condition if any
thing will.
Don't let stale flowers remain in
sick chamber. The air Of sick room
q bad for plants, and if they are given
fresh water and pure air they may
revive.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sit
ting upon il. If you want to jar the
bed u kick or thump is more effect
i've.
Don't let the patient know that you
are watching him. Go to sleep and
snore and he will be sure to keep
awake and watch the clock for medi-
cine time.
Don't have the sick-room tempera-
ture over 60 degrees Ii You should
let it go up to 80, and then iestingly
remark that YOU were preparing the
patient for the immediate future it
might make him nervous. Sick peo-
pie are not apt to appreciate a joke.
Don't neglect during the day to at
tend to necessaries for the night. See
to it that a good substantial lunch is
prepared. and a reasonable amount of
drinkables are on hand. The sick al
ways get along better when the nurse
is well cared for.
Don't ask a c0nyalcscent if he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but
prepare the delicacies and present
them i'm a tempting way. TO fasten
delicacy on the end of string and
let il dangle in front of the patients
nose is very effective, and then to
Jerk it away when he reaches for it
causes much amusement aud relieves
| the monotony Of the sick-room,
Don't be unmiudful Of Yourself If
YOU are in the responsible position Of
nurse Take care that YOU get your
proper amount of sleep, and let the
patient wake you if you oversleep
yourself Sick people are naturally
wakeful and even if the patient did
loze off and miss the medicine hour it
would be better than to break down
! the nurses health and thus make two
! iuvaids instead OF one.
Don't give the patient full glass of
water to drink from. If he is very
thirsty, alleviate the thirst by telling
him that there is more in the resec-
yoir.
Don't allow the patient to get low
spirited. Tickle him under the nose,
punch him in the short ribs with your
thumb, or do something else of a con
vivial character to enliYen the sick
man and keep him in bright humor.
And finally,
Don't pay attention to all the fool
advice YOU read in the apers.-Judge

In the meantime All Lui having

while he went to All Jack for his
money. The demand being made, All
Jack in his choice Uing Yung dialect
informed All Lui that the men were
now on the wharf and were free and
that he would not pay one cent. Upon
this declaration All Lui suddenly real
lied that he had made mistake in
identifying the men on the vessel, and
returning forthwith to the chattels

back on the vessel telling the customs
officers that he had made a mistake as
these were not the men his writs called
for The officers knowing that they
were the same men just taken off the
vessel, permitted them 20 return. After
short examination on board the YES

The bridegroom Market in Bengal

A complaint of very singular char
acter comes from Bengal. Our educa-
tioual system is said To be creating
marked effect upon the native marriage
market throughout the prCsidencY,and
the price Of bridegrooms is said to be
rising rising, it appears moreover, in
proportion to the young gentleman's
success at the university, At least
such is the assertion of IIindoo pun
dit who has recently written ON the
subject to a Calcutta journal. A boy
who is fortunate enough TO pass his en-
trance examination at college is now
rated at 500 rupees, while bachelors Of
arts and those entitled to place the
mystical letters. M. A. after their
names are fetching fancy prices as
prospective sOns-in-law. The result
of which the learned Bcngalee com
plains, is certainly one of the oldest
that has ever been attributed to u
system of education in any land, and
those who are responsible for the uni
versity competitions introduced into
our great eastera dependency will as
sWcdly be acquitted of ever having
entertained the idea of cornering the
marriage market, or making their eN-
amiultious means of running up
the price of bridegrooms. 1t must not
be forgotten that the l1indOo has PEE
culiar notions rs TO the marriage of
| daughters, and cannot possibly be rs
philosophic in the matter as the less
preiudiced residents Of the west On
| the contrary. indeed 70 Il Hindoo
father who firmly believes in Menu and
| his prescriptions as TO marriage, n
scarcity of bridegrnomS, or price
beyond his means, may prove a very
serious matter indeed The Blamln
code of laws regards matrimouv as one
of the means of rcbirth, and tar gwl
! to remain unmarried after attaining
the age of puberty is not only sin,
/ but an objectionable sin. X entails
| disgrace upon the ancestors of fam
lily and upon the descendants. So far
| is this idea carried that 2 marriage
contracted after the bride is of mature
Iaue-that is to say, J. years old -is
REGARDED by many native legaltsts as
invalid Hence the anxiety of every
/ Hmdoo parent to betroth his daugh-
| ter before, if possible, she Is of age.
/ There are many districts where the
nou-marriage OF girl within a rea-
